968. When troubleshooting a motor controller, all indications are that a relay coil should be energized. If there was no magnetic pull, with rated voltage measured across the coil, what would be the most probable cause?

Rated voltage across the relay coil terminals, but no magnetic pull, indicates an open coil winding preventing current flow and magnetic field generation. This eliminates faults in upstream control devices and mechanical armature issues, as these would allow voltage and current, respectively.
